Simulation Assignment

In many ways this is the culmination of what happens when you hit 15 hours on the same problems and have no true solution, yet something fun still happens along the way so you pivot towards that end goal instead of pushing towards whatever end was the previous.

Even still I kept coding and coding and kept trying to accomplish what I set out to do - namely have a bunch of live-video generated bodies attract smaller randomly generated bodies. Somewhere along the way I did something horribly horribly wrong, but still ended up with these relatively beautiful results. So not so bad!

I did start by trying to have particles flow around an image, but the particles weren't flowing in a manner I liked very much. So I pivoted. Can you guess who it is?

EDIT:  IT WORKS!
